I'm beginning to H. A. TE the media
I feel a rant coming on...
Is anyone else sick of TV and newspapers and online media hyping the "Big Duh" story, and all other stories well beyond what they should be (and hopefully MO won't do this again)? Someone wrote into the Seattle times, complaining of local weather reporting and stated, "I believe I just watched the huge, professional staff of a major NBC affiliate inform me that it was (1) dark (2) raining (3) windy."
I see this every day when I try to access the American news media. I H. A. TE IT (I feel another rant coming on. Since when is that word sensored? Are people not allowed to feel passionately in a negative way about something that is opressive and wrong? Should I write that I find it odious? repulsive? That I detest it? Despise or disrelish it? That I have a disaffection for it? An animosity? I feel malevolence, malice, contentiousness, dislike and acrimony towards it? That I take umbrage at it? I abhor and abominate, loathe and execrate it? That I find it invidious, insulting and irritating? Is there some reason I shouldn't H. A. TE something? Is that against a law? Do you think I'm going to commit a crime against the media conglomerates for giving me stupid person news? Do you think if I post that word, that a bunch of neo- f. aci. sts will start flocking to MO and take it over? What kind of society are we living in???).
I've taken to reading media from other countries lately, because I can't stand how stupid an inaccurate the news is here. MO - DONT DO THIS TO US, WE'RE AN INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY, DON'T DUMB DOWN THE NEWS, OR THE HEADLINES TO GET A FEW EXTRA CLICKS. I read all the new news anyway, regardless of the topic.
Thanks,
